What is 24 Hrs Urinary Antimony?

This test measures the amount of antimony excreted in your urine over a 24-hour period. Antimony is a heavy metal that can be found in certain industrial processes, medications, and consumer products. This test helps assess exposure and potential toxicity.

Why is this test important?

Primarily used to diagnose and monitor antimony poisoning, which can occur from occupational exposure or certain medical treatments. Symptoms of antimony toxicity can affect the heart, liver, and kidneys, making early detection crucial.

How to Prepare

You will need to collect all urine passed over a full 24-hour period into a special container. Avoid exposure to antimony-containing products or medications if advised by your doctor.
